Where is your favorite place to go on vacation?
And have you ever been to Europe, or are you planning to do so in the near future?Where is your favorite place to go on vacation?

Personally I only use brake cleaner on disk brakes if I accidently manage to some brake fluid on the rotors when opening up the bleeder valve on the brake caliper or when removing the rust inhibitor off the new rotors.
And you don’t have to use just brake cleaner, I’ve even used denatured alcohol or methylated spirits that are used in alcohol stoves!
I’ve never use a safety mask when changing brakes but would recommend using safety glasses.
This is just my 2 cents.
Quoted From skim3544:
No start? or just takes forever to crank the car to start?
This is one of the car that has a fuel check valve in front of the fuel pump/fuel filter. This little $10 valve sometimes fails does not hold the fuel pressure which will cause difficult to start condition.Sounds like that the fuel relay took a dump on you.
It’s a common problem on these cars and it’s a cheap and easy fix.
To reach it, remove the ash tray and then the cover for the lighter, remove the screws and take the cover away. It’s the big white relay, id you wiggle it bit and then if the car starts, there is your problem, just replace the relay whit a new one.
I had that same problem on my 1974 Pontiac Firebird once and replaced the radiator and the problem went away.
But are you sure that you didn’t blow the head gasket? Pull out the oil dip stick and see how the oil looks like! If you see colors like white or coffee whit cream , then you blew the head gasket….
